Comparison of knowledge, attitudes and behavior of teachers and learners regarding a school-based oral health programme in Swakopmund, Namibia.

<p><font face="Times New Roman">
<p align="left">The study revealed that learners and teachers from both high and low participating schools had positive oral health knowledge, attitudes and behaviour towards oral health. However, certain socio-environmental factors which are important determinants of oral health could explain the reasons for low participation in oral health programme by some schools. Therefore the Health Promoting Schools approach is a pragmatic way to promote oral health at schools in Swakopmund district because a Health Promoting School has a healthy public policy that creates a supportive environment for oral health, making healthy choices easier.</p>
